Landmark Society of the Niagara Frontier

Its goal is to expand sustainable storytelling in the Buffalo-Niagara region through awards, lectures, publications, signage, tours, websites, and collaborative history-driven preservation and development projects.

Seems to be a site/organization dedicated more to networking/providing an umbrella for other groups and resources, over unique content.
